Computer History 1954 - IBM 704 vacuum tube based computer (floating point, scientific, mainframe)
Computer History: IBM. In 1954, IBM introduced the 704, a large scale, electronic data processing machine which was the first mass-produced computer with floating-point arithmetic hardware. The IBM 704 was controlled by an internally stored program, and was a significant improvement over the earlier IBM 701 in terms of architecture and implementation. Like the 701, the 704 used vacuum tube logic circuitry and 36-bit binary words. Changes from the 701 include the use of core memory instead of Williams-Kilburn tubes, floating-point arithmetic instructions, 15-bit addressing and the addition of three index registers. To support these new features, the instructions were expanded to use the full 36-bit word. The new instruction set, which is not compatible with the 701, became the base for t...

"IBM 704 is Miku's Grandfather"
Okay explanation time for people who don't know what Chipspeech is:
Chipspeech is a synthesizer that reconstructs and emulates pre-1990s speech synthesis. One of the voicebanks (and associated character), Dandy 704, is based on samples of the IBM 704 vocoder system, which some Vocaloid fans affectionately refer to as Miku's grandfather. Dandy...is not the kind of guy who would appreciate that sentiment.
Based on That Vine, you know the one. Used Hatsune Miku V4 and Plogue Chipspeech, so yes, those are their actual voices, and scratch audio rendered by me.
Btw, if you want to hear what these two would sound like actually singing together, check out this cover on my side channel for vocal synth stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zFV0cBDNQw
And if you got a kick out of this, please co...

MIT unveils IBM 704 computer at ribbon cutting - the first on campus computer ever!
On this day in 1957, MIT unveiled a dedicated research center housing a $2.7 million IBM 704 computer, weighing in at nearly 20,000 lbs. Donated by IBM as a contribution to advance research and education in the nascent field of computer science, the installation of the IBM 704 marked an important moment in computer history. The 704 was MIT’s first public computer and the largest computer installed in any academic institution at the time.
Since 1957, IBM and MIT have continued to collaborate to advance scientific R&D. In 2017, this partnership led to the creation of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Bringing together scientists from MIT and IBM Research, the lab focuses on groundbreaking AI research and its application to real-world challenges.

Daisy Bell - IBM 7094 (1961)
"Daisy Bell" was composed by Harry Dacre in 1892.
In 1961, the IBM 7094 became the first computer to sing, singing the song Daisy Bell. Vocals were programmed by John Kelly and Carol Lockbaum and the accompanying music was programmed by Max Mathews that ran on another computer alongside the vocals.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford the carriage
But you'd look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two

NASA Computers 1957-1959 IBM 704 - VANGUARD SATELLITE Launch "Science in Space" (Burroughs Datatron)
1960 film from the National Academy of Sciences focuses on the 1957 to 1959 time period and the developments in the U.S. Space exploration activities especially the early Satellite Program and Vanguard Project. Project Vanguard was a program managed by the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), established to launch the first artificial satellite into Earth orbit using a Vanguard rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Vanguard rockets were used by Project Vanguard from 1957 to 1959.
In response to the Soviet Russia launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the U.S. increased its funding and research into space satellites and related technologies. Numerous launches were attempted including the unfortunate televised failure of Vanguard TV3 on December 6, 1957. On March 17, 1958, Va...

Alex Bernstein vs. IBM 704 - 1958
This 1958 film documents IBM programmer Alex Bernstein and his pioneering work on one of the first complete chess programs for the IBM 704 computer. Developed around 1957, the program was capable of playing a full game of chess against a human opponent. Bernstein’s work was based on the Type B Strategy proposed by Claude Shannon. The film showcases Bernstein at the console of the IBM 704, where he inputs moves and the computer calculates its responses, taking about eight minutes per move. This documentary provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of artificial intelligence and computer chess, highlighting the technological advancements and challenges of the era.

IBM 704 Scientific Computer
IBM 704 Data Processing Machine was introduced by IBM in 1954. It was the first mass-produced computer with floating-point arithmetic hardware. It was designed for scientific and engineering applications. The 704 was a large-scale, vacuum-tube based, high-speed electronic, stored program calculator. It used core memory rather than Williams tubes. IBM produced 123 of the model 704 computers between 1955 and 1960.
Related 704 peripheral equipment included the 711 Punched Card Reader, 716 Alphabetic Printer, 721 Punched Card Recorder, 727 Magnetic Tape Units and 753 Tape Control Unit, 733 Magnetic Drum Reader and Recorder, and 737 Magnetic Core Storage Unit.
The US Navy utilized the IBM 704 to receive and analyze telemetry data from the Vanguard satellite to calculate and predict the real time orbit of Vanguard. (The 704 was also used by the U.S. to track the orbit of Sputnik.)
According to IBM Archives, in 1958, an IBM 705 computer at IBM's Vanguard Computing Center aided in the launch and tracking of Explorer I, the first non-Soviet Earth satellite. The satellite disclosed evidence of Earth-circling radiation belts. The 705 data processing system was a powerful magnetic tape computer capable of 1,364,000 logical decisions a minute.
Burroughs Electrodata “Datatron”
Burroughs “Datatron” computer (seen only very briefly in the film) was introduced in 1954 by Electrodata Corporation. Burroughs Corporation acquired Electrodata in 1966 and marketed the Datatron computer as part of the Burroughs line.
Although initially successful, both the IBM 704 and the Burroughs Datatron computers were essentially becoming obsolete technology by 1960 when this film was released. They continued to be used by many organizations into the 1960’s. However, they were no longer manufactured as newer faster machines became available. (Note: Burroughs acquired Sperry Corporation in 1986 and formed UNISYS, which now owns all Burroughs computer copyrights.)

From the Guidebook:
Vocaloids! They sing and dance and are known the world over! But they're just the most recent step in a long history of synthetic music and singing computers.
We'll explore the origins of talking machines and computers and how synthetic music was born. Then, we'll talk about the history of speech synthesizers, and how they were made to sing. We'll also take a look at how Vocaloids actually turn computer data into music.
That will round out the tech, but we still have to explain... why Miku? The worldwide success of the Vocaloid software can be traced back to a virtual girl with turquoise twintails singing on the Internet. How did Vocaloids like Miku, Kaito, Luka, and the whole cast of characters come to be? And what magic made them a success?
It's not all dry dialog, there are some music videos both historical up to 2009, from a real IBM-702 to Vocaloid music videos.
Afterward, we'll have some time for any questions, and for people to discuss their favorite Vocaloids, artists, and songs.

The worldwide success of the Vocaloid software can be traced back to a virtual girl with turquoise twintails singing on the Internet. How did Vocaloids like Miku, Kaito, Luka, and the whole cast of characters come to be? And what magic made them a success?
It's not all dry dialog, there are some music videos both historical up to 2009, from a real IBM-702 to Vocaloid music videos.
Afterward, we'll have some time for any questions, and for people to discuss their favorite Vocaloids, artists, and songs.
